Chapter 84

At the production.As Sima Qi rehearsed with Lang Qi, Zhang Rong received a phone call.When Sima Qi walked down, she heard congratulatory voices all around her.Zhang Rong’s assistant smiled and said, “This time, the other party specifically asked our Sister Zhang to audition to be the spokesperson! The other party has business dealings with the Mu family. Under the same conditions, the other party would be more willing to choose our Sister Zhang.”The surrounding staff instantly understood that this was a conflict of interest. It seemed that this Chanel endorsement was very likely to be Zhang Rong’s.Zhang Rong said to Director Wang, “Director Wang, I won’t be free tomorrow afternoon. Can I move my scene?”Director Wang said understandingly, “Sure, I’ll shoot another scene tomorrow afternoon.”After Zhang Rong left with a smile on her face, Sima Qi walked to Director Wang’s side.”Director Wang, I’ll also be taking leave tomorrow afternoon. Could you shoot another scene first?”Director Wang looked at her in surprise. “What a coincidence, do you guys have other jobs at the same time?””Yes, yes.” Sima Qi pointed in Lang Qi’s direction. “Fortunately, Lang Qi is still here, so you can shoot him first.”Lang Qi, “…”The f*cking female lead and second female lead would not be here, so he would have to do a one-man show.Zhang Rong’s assistant quickly ran back and told Zhang Rong about Sima Qi’s leave of absence.”What? She also took a leave of absence?” Zhang Rong felt a little uneasy and quickly called Mu Xiao. “Brother Mu Xiao, do you know how many candidates will be there for the spokesperson’s audition?”Mu Xiao said, “I was just about to call you. I just received the preliminary script for the advertisement. The female lead is a woman wearing a red dress and a veil.”Mu Xiao said in a deep voice, “I reckon that this advertisement has been planned based on the image of the Veiled Queen.””What? Why is this happening? Could it be that the candidate for this advertisement has already been decided on?” Zhang Rong asked nervously.Could it be that Sima Qi had done something to cause the decision to be made in advance?”Listen to me. It was by coincidence that I was there that day… So, Mr. Chuck seems quite satisfied with the Veiled Queen. Our chances of winning this time are not high. I’m already helping you to choose other endorsements.”Zhang Rong clenched her fists, unwilling to give up. Sima Qi was deliberately snatching endorsements from her.Otherwise, why would she want to participate in the horse race in front of Chuck?She was such a schemer.”Sister Zhang, what should we do then?” The assistant asked worriedly.It seemed like this time, they had been celebrating for nothing.Zhang Rong sneered, “The matter hasn’t been settled yet. Nothing is certain yet.”That night, as Chuck was eating, he unexpectedly bumped into Zhang Rong.Zhang Rong deliberately passed by with her assistant and asked in feigned surprise, “You’re Mr. Chuck, aren’t you?”Chuck recognized her at a glance. “Hello, Miss Zhang.”Previously, Mu Xiao had specially recommended Zhang Rong and even showed Chuck some fashion photos of Zhang Rong. Chuck had been quite satisfied with Zhang Rong, but now he was even more satisfied with the Veiled Queen.If not for the Veiled Queen, Chuck would have been willing to do the Mu family a favor and sign Zhang Rong on directly.”Mr. Chuck, would it be convenient for us to have a meal together?” Zhang Rong asked.Chuck smiled and said, “Sure!”Zhang Rong proceeded to intentionally or subconsciously inquire about Chuck’s good impression of the Veiled Queen. When she learned that the headquarters intended to have the Veiled Queen as the spokesperson, Zhang Rong had a strange expression on her face.Choosing a suitable time to bring it up, Zhang Rong said, “Mr. Chuck, don’t you ever wonder why the Veiled Queen would wear a veil and refuse to reveal her true appearance? About what kind of face is underneath that veil? Suppose the Veiled Queen’s true appearance is exposed and she is very ugly. In that case, I’m afraid that the perfume sales will be affected.”Chuck could not help but fall into deep thought. “I hadn’t thought about this.”It was true that no one had ever seen the true face of the Veiled Queen.It was indeed quite risky to endorse such an uncertain factor.Unless… the Veiled Queen was willing to take off her veil.”If it wasn’t for something that she was unwilling to reveal to others, who would wear a veil for no reason?” Zhang Rong chuckled.Chuck suddenly said, “I will report this situation to Headquarters.”..At the hotel.Sima Qi was on a video call with Shi Mo, telling him about her upcoming endorsement campaign.Shi Mo raised his eyebrows. “But why didn’t you use your real identity? Why did you have to use the Veiled Queen?”Sima Qi pouted. “I’m still a newcomer, I’m not qualified enough to accept advertisements yet. At least the Veiled Queen is somewhat popular.”Shi Mo smiled. “Whatever advertisement you want, just let me know. You can choose from any of the top ten brands.”Sima Qi blinked. “Hubby, are you that powerful?””What do you think?”Sima Qi replied, “All along, I’ve only known that Star Dream Era is the largest entertainment company in the country!”Even so, surely it was not to the extent of being able to choose to have any brand endorsement you wanted.
